Downrange wad for AAHS

Which DR wad provides the best crimp in a HS hull with 1-1/8 shot and American Select or Greendot powder. I have used CB1118 but they are a little to long to get a consistant crimp. I don't live near a dealer that handles them so I can't compare them. I have used the XL-1 in these hulls for 1 oz and the length seems to be correct. Occasionally these will rise up in the hull after the shot is dropped, like the air under it had been compressed. I noticed that the CB wads have little vents around the powder cup that prevents that. Do any of the DR wads have that?

I've had some problems with crimps with greendot but have put it down to the relatively high volume of powder I had to use to get the load I wanted. Switched to International Clays and the crimping problem disappeared.

Why not switch to claybuster for the AAHS hull. If you go to the claybuster web site you can see the wads they offer with lead-in taper (including the clone for the rem tgt12). This lead in taper many times helps with clearing the base wad in the AAHS. Conversely the dr wad you mentioned looks to have a flared skirt. The claybuster clone for the f114 yellow wad works fine for 1-1/8 loads and helps when using bulky powders like green dot.

I don't load many 1&1\8oz but when I do I have my best luck with Rems.TGTs for dense powders & RXPs for bulkier powders,in STSs & AA new style HS, more noticeable difference in the new AAs as they don't seem to catch (hang-up) on that little lip. CB clones work well for me also. just my experience. --Ross Puls

The hull is tapered. The wad is being compressed into the tapered portion of the hull. When the press ram is raised the wad will rise to relieve the pressure. That is not anormal. Makes no difference. When the hull is crimped the wad will be pushed down into position.
